Trivia
- The music video of this song was accidentally made public by Nintendo of America on YouTube on 18 March 2024 at around 13:00 UTC, using the video thumbnail and description for Color Pulse (2024)[4][5] and without an announcement by @SplatoonJP or @SplatoonNA on Twitter. This video was removed several hours later at around 16:40 UTC. It was reuploaded with the correct thumbnail and description and announced on Twitter the following day.
- Off the Hook's performance of We're So Back in Inkopolis Square is the first in-game appearance of Marina's keytar, which had previously only been seen in live performances of Muck Warfare and Anarchy Rainbow. It has a slightly different design compared to its live appearances, lacking the small sticker of Off the Hook's logo and with its neck being moved to the opposite side of its body.
